  1. Update to Windows 10 Pro from Windows Home through Microsoft Store - there is no product key


    Hello

    I bought a Windows Pro 10 from my Windows Home PC using my personal account in Microsoft Store.

    Somewhere I read that I should have updated my Windows Home first before update to Windows Pro but I didn't

    Windows Pro 10 Installed but I cannot Activate it. I haven't received a Product Key instead Microsoft help website says that my license is digital.

    Also it seems my order is not refundable because I cannot find the option to refund.

    In summary:

    I don't have a product key I checked my mail several times and my order history also checked Windows Store

    My order is not refundable

    I can't Activate Windows Pro 10 with my personal Account


    I even reset my PC, it installed Windows Pro 10 but I couldn't login with my personal account instead I installed it with a local account.


    The error message:

    We can't reach a critical Windows service. Make sure you're connected to the Internet, wait a few minutes, and try activating again. Error code: 0x80070426


    It's almost a week at the time of writing and I can't activate my Windows 10 Pro.

    I also thought of come back to Windows Home but I can't find an easy way to do it.


    Thanks for any suggestion.

    :)

  2. windows 10 key

    Thanks but I don't want to do any decrypting. I want to download a Win 10 ISO from Microsoft and install it using my Win 8 key. No other steps required. Is that possible?

    DOWNLOAD WINDOWS 10 NOW - Upgrade and ISO direct from microsoft

    this search might help you https://www.google.com.au/webhp?sou...o+to+get+it+activated+windows+10+blocked+keys

    From http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/why-activate-windows-10

    If you upgraded to Windows 10 for free and ended up in a non-activated state, try following these steps:

    • Go to Start
      Update to Windows 10 Pro from Windows Home through Microsoft Store - there is no product key [​IMG]
      , then select Settings > Update & security > Activation.
    • Select Go to Store, and check to see if a valid license is available for your device. If a license isn't available, you'll need to buy Windows from the Store.

      Note
      • This only applies if you haven't made changes to the hardware for your device.

    or you could hack it with a crack but please note this is always risky and you don't know what's in the hack

    I just did a deployment last night with a fresh 10 install using the newest ISO and a 7 Pro key, worked like a charm. Glad yours worked for you as well. *Toast :toast:
